LAND PURCHASES UNIFY, EXPAND CAMP TUSCAZOAR PROPERTY

ZOARVILLE, Ohio – The Camp Tuscazoar Foundation has purchased 113 acres of
the original Camp Tuscazoar property from a Dover family. The purchase will
leave only 22 acres of the original camp not in Foundation hands. However,
as part of this purchase, the Foundation has been given the legal right to
utilize the remaining acreage, so camp patrons will continue to enjoy the
use of the entire camp.

The newly-acquired land tract roughly covers an area between White Eyes
Brook (below One Leg campsite) and Shingask Brook (which runs below Troop
One Cabin) and includes the old rifle and archery ranges; the Johnny
Appleseed, Wilderness and Big Tulip campsites; the Ray Moore Shelter and
much of Icky’s Trail. A grant from the Clean Ohio Fund’s Green Space
Conservation Program, which is administered through the Ohio Public Works
Commission, made the purchase possible.

In a separate transaction, the Foundation has also agreed to purchase an
additional 82.7 acres south of the original camp property. Several options
are being considered to best use this property for the benefit of Camp
Tuscazoar patrons. This purchase was also made possible by a grant from the
Clean Ohio Fund’s Green Space Conservation Program and assistance from
The Wilderness Center in
Wilmot, Ohio.

“We are thrilled to finalize these agreements,” said Bob Spencer, president
of the Camp Tuscazoar Foundation. “With these purchases, we have finally
unified the original camp property and have helped to preserve our secluded
atmosphere.

The Camp Tuscazoar Foundation was founded with the purpose of purchasing,
maintaining and perpetuating Camp Tuscazoar. After 23 years, our goal of
acquiring the entire camp property has nearly been achieved. We are
extremely grateful to the Green Space Conservation Program and
The Wilderness Center for
their willingness to assist us in this effort. Without their contributions,
these historic land acquisitions would not have been possible.”

The Camp Tuscazoar Foundation, Inc. is an Ohio non-profit corporation
founded in 1986 for the purpose of purchasing, maintaining and perpetuating
Camp Tuscazoar for use by scouts, church groups, school groups and other
community organizations. Camp Tuscazoar is located on Boy Scout Road, two
miles east of Zoar, near Zoarville.
